Sean Wheelock has a few things he wants to clear up about his departure from Bellator MMA.
For one, it was not his choice. And secondly, Wheelock said Bellator president Scott Coker didn't make the call.
The longtime Bellator play-by-play man was not renewed back in July and Sean Grande, the radio voice of the Boston Celtics, took his place. Wheelock had been with Bellator working with color commentator Jimmy Smith since 2010 back when Bellator was on FOX Sports Net. The duo worked 127 straight shows together. Smith was kept on with Grande.
The dismissal was sudden -- not just to fans, but to Wheelock himself.
